We're so excited to welcome you here in Durham for our Pre-application Open Days.
We're still working on finalising our Open Day Guide for 2023 with all of the updated information. In the meantime, take a look at the linked guide from 2022 to see what a typical Durham University Open Day looks like!
Please check out our Colleges Guide which will provide you with information about each of our Undergraduate Colleges and will help you to choose which ones you might like to visit during the Open Day!
You may be entitled to an Event Bursary of up to £200 total to help with the cost of attending the Open Day (up to £150 travel, up to £50 accommodation). Please read through our Bursary Eligibility to find out more information. We will be opening for bursary applications very soon so please keep an eye on this page for more information about how to apply!
Durham is a beautiful, historic city with so much to see and do. If you've never visited Durham before, then you may want some extra information about the area. We've included links to the This is Durham website and the Durham Pointers website, both of which are extremely valuable resources!
If you're travelling far, you might want to stay the night in Durham either before or after the Open Day. You can find a list of places to stay in Durham here.
You may be able to pre-purchase a packed lunch to collect on the day - check back soon for the booking link.
The collegiate structure is a defining characteristic of Durham University. It’s extremely reassuring to be part of an active, close-knit community with a vested interest in your welfare and development, both in your career and personal life.
